Don't forget, the museum is offering a free Valentine's science time (see previous post with the flyer).
In pool school, students learned about life jackets. They learned why we should wear them, how to pick one out, and if it fits correctly in order to save a life. Students then got to wear them during pool time. Students were shown the best way to float in order to wait for someone to come and help. We had some brave kids wearing life jackets jump off of the platform, even though they don't know how to swim. Students also practiced huddling together for warmth and to help one another float.
First- a pool school slideshow!
